Trimming
the Motor Side Covers
You can change the look of
your 750 by trimming down the covers on the left side of the motor. If
you trim the webbed areas on the shifter cover as well as the dyno cover,
you will give it a different appearance, almost as though it were non-unit.
That is, the transmission would appear to be a separate component than
the motor.
The best way to do this is to
cut the webbing off with a band saw, then use a grinder to contour each
cover the way you want it. I use a cut-off wheel to get the cuts close
then a body grinder with a #16 disc to smooth it, then a D-A with 80 grit
to finish it. Following that with finer paper,depending on how you're planning
to do the finish.
When you do this, you leave
the counter shaft sprocket off to expose the chain and sprocket. I usually
detail this area by chroming the sprocket and using chrome allen bolts
as needed.
